Constan, a lifelong Democrat and resident of Dearborn Heights, hopes to improve what he sees as the role of the Wayne County Commission in County Government.

Constan, serving his third and final term as State Representative, is a former member of the Dearborn Heights City Council. He takes great pride in his commitment to each office he has held.

One of the few State Representatives in Lansing to boast a 100 percent perfect attendance and 100 percent voting record, Constan plans to bring that same dedication to the role of Wayne County Commissioner for the new 8th District.

The district includes all of Dearborn Heights and Redford Township and a southeast section of Livonia, south of Five Mile Rd. and east of Middlebelt.

Constan chaired the Government Operations Committee during the last legislative session and is the current Minority Chair of the House Tax Policy Committee in Lansing, among other committee assignments.

A graduate of Annapolis High School, Constan holds a B.A. from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and a Juris Doctorate Degree from the University of Detroit-Mercy School of Law. He has been licensed to practice law in Michigan for 25 years.

Constan and his wife of 23 years, Kim, have three children. He has served as an usher at his church for over a decade. An active volunteer in his community, Constan is Vice President of the Dearborn Heights Goodfellows, Distinguished Past President of the Dearborn Heights Kiwanis Club, Past President of the Dearborn Area Bar Association and a  Commissioner on the Dearborn Heights Watershed Steward’s Commission.
